opens the doors to the exhibition Denser and saltier. Plants, ashes and water, in the Hort de Tramoieres Room of the Botanical Garden of the University of Valencia, a research project, didactic and artistic by Estelle Julian curated by the socio-educational mediation and cultural management company Culturama. The exhibition raises a reflection around salt, an element that is part of our territory and to which halophilic plants are adapted, that tolerate it both in water and on soil, and that in the exhibition they are presented as ambassadors of the transition spaces between land and sea.
In the Botanical room we will find cyanotypes, photographs, ceramic pieces, herbarium sheets and all the recording of the work that has been carried out for two years, on the one hand with experiences with the students and teachers of the artistic baccalaureate of the IES Professor Broch y Llop de Vila-real, and on the other hand with meetings and dialogues with agents from different fields and institutions such as the Botanical Garden, the Valencian Institute of Agrarian Research (IVIA), the Spanish Institute of Oceanography and the School of Art and Design of Castellón, among others. The result is a crossover between art, botany, agronomy, philosophy and oceanography, in which collective reflection is used as a joint learning tool and gives way to a curious and creative look at the environment.
